********************************************************************************
I. Introduction
I would like to begin by saying that I am a big fan of the Peanuts gang
as well as the dog of the hour, Snoopy, and his heroic alter ego, the
World War I Flying Ace. Just like the Gamespot review says, the game is
very true to the Charles Schulz's lovable universe, although the more
obsessive fans (like myself) might notice the absence of General Pershing
or the change in Marcie's role ... whatever.
I'm new to the shooter genre, so practically the only reason I picked
this game up is the characters. However, I really enjoy this game and it
is very useful as an introduction for people who are new to the adventure
shooter genre, especially kids. Anyway, off with the opinions and on
with the instruction.
Also, if there are any levels that you are personally having a hard time
with and this walkthrough just kind of runs over it, e-mail me and I'll
send you a few tips that I tried that made the game that much easier (be
warned, these are books by themselves). If you find them really useful,
I'll see if I can shrink them down to fit in this guide.
This is my first walkthrough, so I'm still learning how to be helpful to
my fellow gamers. I have completed the game with "General" rank for all
the levels (100%) too many times to count, so I think I know enough about
the game to write one of these. I appreciate any tips from you experienced
writers if you think I could do better. Okay, finally, the walkthrough...
******************************************************************************
II. Walkthrough
The tutorial stages are pretty self explanatory. After you complete the
segment with the doghouse and get the Sopwith Camel, go over to Marcie's
school and complete those three activities. You'll earn 75 coins for each
session you complete, but you won't get paid if you complete a course a second
time. I might recommend that you turn the sound off for the tutorials because
you can't skip the talking. You can keep the sound on during the game because
there is no audible dialog then, but you can just read the instructions for
the tutorials.
Once you complete all three sessions, go over to Pigpen's shop and buy one of
the plane upgrades (I prefer the machine gun, but they're all useful). When
you're ready, get your favorite weapon and fly into the billboard marked...
============= A. Aerodrome Island ==============
- A1. Defend Island -
------------------------------
Primary Objectives:
*Destroy Surveillance Bots (10)
*Destroy Blimps (2)
*Destroy Crawlers (4)
*Destroy Drillers (10)
*Destroy PT Boats (6)
*Run from the Red Baron
Secondary Objectives:
*Destroy 10 Blue Fighters
*Save the Lighthouse
*Save the Factory
This is a great beginner's level. As soon as you take off, fly straight for
the cameras and take them all out with gun fire. If any of the blue planes
give you trouble during this and one just so happens to fly in front of you,
take him out, then go back to the cameras. If you ever need health, fly to
the top the root beer factory to restore yourself. After you have destroyed
the second wave of surveillance bots, you have a little free time to explore
the area. Shoot all the balloons you see, and you'll find the letter "M"
behind the root beer factory near a cliff; shoot that too.
Now, using your missiles, fire into the blimps. You may want to shoot a blimp
first so it releases its precious cargo, shoot down all the bots it releases,
and then finish the blimp off with the missiles. It's your choice which one
goes first, just take down both blimps.
Now a bunch of drillers will make their way to the tower as well as a couple of
"crawlers." Using your missiles, take out the crawlers first because they cause
the most damage to you. When they are down, shoot or missile the drillers. If
you're out of missiles, sink one of the PT boats to reload. Finish the drillers
then the boats.
After you save the lighthouse, the root beer factory will be bombarded. Again,
crawlers first, then circle around and concentrate on the drillers. If the
pilots are giving you a headache, finish them to complete the secondary
objective. Once all of the drillers are gone, the Red Baron makes his first
appearance.
Follow the path of coins in front of you to the hangar. If you decide to turn
around and waste a lot of time, he'll magically appear and start shooting at
you, but you can't damage him. Just go straight and you'll have no problems.
- A2. Recover Plans -
------------------------------
Primary Objectives:
*Obtain Plans
*Deliver Plans
*Destroy Copter Bots (8)
*Escort Blimp to Safety
Secondary Objectives:
*Destroy PT Boats (6)
*Destroy 20 Blue Fighters
*Destroy Blimps (2)
*Destroy Crawlers (3)
As soon as you leave the hangar, dive down and take out all of the PT Boats;
trust me, you have all day to get that document right now. Shoot down a couple
of the blue fighters (save a few for later, they're gonna keep coming anyway)
and be sure to take out those blimps. When you're done exploring and have
picked up maybe six balloons, fly to the yellow X marked on your radar. A
cutscene will show a retriever bot getting a hold of the papers.
As it takes off, follow it around a bit. You can't damage it, but you will
need to quickly take out the crawler it hides under. When the crawler is
destroyed, follow it on your radar to the side of the cliff. (On this run, it
will fly through a tunnel where a balloon is very well hidden.) Take out this
crawler, follow the bot one more time (get the balloon), and then finish this
last crawler. You will get the documents, so turn around and fly above the
warehouse to drop off the plans.
Suddenly the Aerodrome tower will be swarmed with copter bots. As you approach,
shoot the "A" to the right of the tower, then take out each of the bots. As
soon as all 8 are done for, Linus will take off in the blimp and all the little
boys in blue decide to pick on him. This is the part where you finish your blue
fighter quota. You have to destroy these planes before the blimp takes too much
damage, otherwise you'll have to start this entire mission from the beginning.
Basically from where you start, you have to escort him to the opposite side of
the island. Begin by boosting to get in front, and take out as many enemies as
you can from a distance. By the time the blimp catches up, they'll be coming
from two sides. Just focus on a group at a time, alternating as each swarm is
down. When Linus's health bar is at half, he'll shout out a warning. You only
have to get the blimp so far; when he is just past the second battleship that
the fighters are spawning from, he'll thank you and your job is done, even if
his health bar is almost empty.
- A3. Protect the Trucks -
------------------------------
Primary Objectives:
*Protect Allied Ship
*Protect the Trucks
*Destroy Enemy Tanks (2)
*Destroy Driller Bots (5)
*Destroy Rocks Blocking Path
Secondary Objectives:
*Destroy PT Boats (8)
*Destroy 10 Blue Fighters
*Destroy Blimps (3)
*Destroy Copter Bots (15)
You'll want to have upgraded both your gun and health at Pigpen's for this one.
This level is really hard if you haven't become masterfully comfortable with
the controls, especially if your secondary arsenal is not all that big.
Alright, now that I have scared you, pick up the bottle rockets and begin by
shooting the first plane that you see. If it takes you too long, missile as
many of the boats as are in range, but do not forget about the planes. A speedy
defense is incredibly necessary. You have got to shoot the planes before they
reach the boat so they will roll away a bit to avoid gunfire and hold off on
the offensive. After about a zillion bullets have been fired and the ship looks
like it is about to sink right in front of the dock, it will pull in and load
the trucks for the next part of the mission.
Despite the warning, this next segment is a little bit easier to master than the
previous endeavor. You have three vehicles to defend, but you still complete
the mission if only one of them makes it through. Quickly shoot all copter
bots you see before the next cutscene shows a bunch of mines coming out of a
blimp. Destroy the mines and the blimp, then try to get to the bridge as quick
as you can to destroy all the copter bots before the trucks get there.
Two tanks will fall at the ends of the bridge, trapping your supply trucks.
Take out one of the tanks as quickly as possible, using one missile on each
tank. If you think you can be really quick, destroy the PT boats around the
bridge before you destroy the second tank, and get the "R" that's under the
bridge. Once the trucks are free, boost ahead the path so you can take out a
nearby blimp. After the trucks go a little ways up the curving path around the
little mountain, several drillers will pop out of the ground. Ride the airbrake
as you pump your remaining missiles into them. If you run out of rockets, try
shooting the surrounding copter bots. These things shoot at only you, so if you
find that your health is getting low really fast, it's because of these guys.
Many of them carry supplies and health, so clearing them should also help you
restock. Take several of these out quickly before the drillers appear, then
keep following your slow little trucks in wait for the next set of drillers up
near the Aerodrome tower.
After you've destroyed them, a blimp should soon appear. Use whatever rockets
you have left to bring it down since it's the last tough guy you'll face. Soon
the enemy commander will order that the path be blocked. The tunnel will be
blocked up, and unless you've destroyed the blimp that the mine bots are coming
from, they are going to keep coming. Destroy all the bad guys before you shoot
the rocks. One missile should clear the rocks, but if you don't have any more
secondary weapons, ride the airbrake while you shoot the rocks and come back to
them as necessary. Make sure that the trucks are going to reach the bridge;
from that point, they are guaranteed safe, so quickly try to pick up all the
nearby items you may have missed before the mission screen closes.
If you want to make this mission a lot easier, take out all blimps, tanks, and
drillers as soon as possible so you are only left with the guys that cause very
little damage. As a general rule for his level, use your secondary weapons
liberally, and take everyone out as quickly as possible.
- A4. Attack of the U-Boats -
------------------------------
Primary Objectives:
*Defend Corn Silo
*Defeat U-Boat Fleets (3)
Secondary Objectives:
*Destroy Fleeing Fighters (4)
*Destroy PT Boats (10)
*Destroy 10 Blue Fighters
By now you should have enough money and balloons to purchase the boomerang.
This is the most powerful weapon you can have, so make room for it.
Also, you
should upgrade your plane at least one stat for each field. If you don't have
enough balloons for the boomerang, run through this level to get at least thirty
balloons, then complete the previous levels super-powered with a boomerang.
As soon as you get the chance, trail the four pilots and knock them out of the
sky before they reach the other side of the island. No penalty if you don't,
but you get to fill up on pennies and balloons a little bit longer before the
next cutscene. The "C" is just to the right of the little dirt island if you
are coming from the bridge. The enemy's armada of submarines should soon make
their grand entrance, but you won't be getting back-up, despite what Lucy says.
That's okay, they aren't that tough.
The subs alternate taking turns firing; if the sub is up, then you can damage
it, and if it's under the water, then you can't, so find a group of three that
is above the water and pump several missiles into it. Now the quick way to end
this mission is to missile down all the u-boats, but I'm going to assume you
want to complete all of the objectives.
Begin by taking out three or four subs before you decide to take out the other
vehicles. Since u-boats cause the most damage to the corn silo, this will give
you a lot of time to take on everyone else. Now shoot down as many boats that
you have time for, and try to take out the blue fighters quickly if they are
giving you trouble or pass your crosshairs. If you need health or ammo and the
enemy hasn't been handing them out, look for one of the health boxes sitting on
the sides of the cliffs and shoot them out.
Once you have guaranteed that all of your secondary objectives have been
fulfilled, concentrate all of your weapons on the remaining subs. There will
always be at least one above the water until you sink them all. The mission is
over when all of the subs are gone; that's why you might want to leave one sub
still standing until you take care of everything else.
- A5. Cripple Outpost Island -
------------------------------
Primary Objectives:
*Destroy Anti-Airguns (8)
*Destroy Enemy Blimps (4)
*Destroy PT Boats (8)
*Destroy Enemy Fighters (4)
*Destroy Bomb Bots (6)
*Enter Outpost Island
*Destroy Control Tower
*Escape Outpost Island
Secondary Objectives:
*Destroy Hangars (3)
*Destroy Outpost Interior (20)
This is my favorite level for the Aerodrome world. I think this is your first
time you have a team of characters fight with you. Peppermint Pattie will take
the skies in the bomber, and Schroeder says that he's got the waterways covered
in his boat. Ultimately, these guys are useless, but thankfully you don't have
to worry about defending them.
After the cutscene, boost so you are in range to take out the boat in front of
you, then shoot out as many M2 guns that you can find nearby. When the coast
is mostly clear of the smaller hazards, finish off the blimps. One of the
volcanoes will open up to spew six mines; shoot them down. Now fly all the way
around the island to get most of the remaining balloons (7 total right now) and
take out the remaining boats and airguns. Four blue fighters will appear when
all enemies are gone, so take them out.
You'll get an order from Lucy to look around to find an entrance, and the
entire island will be surrounded by a ring of 1-point coins. Be little bit
careful when you get near the docking area; there's a geyser near one of the
coins that can destroy your plane in one hit, so try shooting the coins around
there. Anyway, if you follow the ring, you will eventually find a group that
dips down low at the back end of the island. When you collect the lowest coin,
a sub will appear out of a sinister cave. As soon as you destroy the sub,
quickly zoom into the open cave before the next sub appears and the door closes.
Once inside, the door will slam shut behind you and you'll be trapped inside
the base. Never fear, though, all you have to worry about is a couple of M2
guns. Destroy the one directly in front of you when you enter then turn right
to shoot the other one. By the time you finish this feat Marcie should have
given you orders to shoot down the tower, indicated by the yellow X on your
radar. However, before you do, let's complete all of the secondary objectives,
shall we? Oh yeah, don't forget the three remaining balloons and the "I" over
by the submarine dock.
With the airbrake on fly around the area where the second M2 was with the
buildings. Destroy the idle sub, the crane next to the water, and the three
hangars to the right of Flying Circus Headquarters (use missiles). You're not
done yet; come back around and shoot each pile of boxes sitting to the left of
where the u-boat was. When everything is gone, you should get the last green
stamp. Now missile the heck out of the tower, then fly out through the now open
door behind the tower. Peppermint Pattie will drop the big bombs into the
volcano; mission accomplished.
- A6. Sink the Battleship -
------------------------------
Primary Objectives:
*Destroy Turret Guns
*Destroy U-Boats
*Destroy Crawler Bots
*Destroy Bomb Blaster
*Destroy Battleship
Secondary Objective:
*Destroy Blue Fighters (9)
The Flying Circus has sent out its last line of offense: a battleship. You'll
soon be introduced to Woodstock's new piece of equipment, and then you'll enter
Woodstock Gunner Mode. Begin by shooting out all of the guns, using your
missiles liberally. When most of the guns are gone, a couple of U-boats will
appear on both sides of the ship, one at a time. Finish them both before you
take out the last gun. Two crawlers will appear and the ship will then open up
a case of bombs. You can shoot the bombs before they hit you, but most of them
contain health that will heal you as soon as they hit you, so just concentrate
on the crawlers first and then the barrel that they are coming from.
With that one gone, a giant cannon comes out and starts shooting the tower.
Any part of the ship is vulnerable now, but before you can do damage, you have
to shoot down the three blue fighters on your tail. Once they're out of your
hair, just hold the gun button on the ship, pumping all of your missiles into
it. After about 15 seconds of pumping lead into it, you'll need to get three
more pilots off your tail again. Rinse and repeat.
When the ship's health bar gets really small and turns a really dark red,
you've sunk the battleship and completed the mission. Don't forget to shoot all
of the balloons around the area and the "E" that appears in the middle of the
ship. If you want to complete the secondary objective, you will have to wait
for the third set of fighter planes to appear and crumble before you finish off
the oversized toy.
============== B. Woods of Montsec =============
- B1. Rerun's Challenge -
------------------------------
Primary Objectives:
*Fly Through the Rings Before the Timer Runs Out (110)
Secondary Objectives:
*Finish Before Rerun
*Destroy the Targets (7)
*Shoot Baron Drones (5)
This level is really tricky, and you probably won't get all the way through the
first few times you try it. If you do, hats off to you. Start by just trying
to get through the rings; as you gain more experience with navigating this
area, nab the letters and balloons by shooting them as they pass your cross
hairs. If you feel really high and mighty, go for all the secondary objectives.
I have completed all of the objectives in a single run multiple times (I'm not
cocky), so I will give you hints on how to knock down all the targets and beat
Rerun, but you will probably want to collect all the items during your first
several runs before you go for the rest of the hard stuff. It would behoove you
to have the boomerang to take care of the drones and targets.
Here are the rules for the race: 1. Rerun gets to be ahead of you the entire
race, and you can't pass him until before the last ring when his engine stalls.
2. You have ten seconds to pass through each ring; if you fail to pass through
the next ring within 10 seconds, you have failed the mission. You cannot skip
rings; if you miss, you have to turn around and get it before you can pass
through the next one. 3. Anything goes (for Rerun). You can destroy all the
obstacles he puts in your way (such as the drones) or just avoid them (the
rocks at the entrance to the caves), but you cannot cause damage to him. All
clear? Okay. Ready, set, go.
As soon as you start, boost; for every ring you pass through, it will restore
your stunt meter. After you get really comfortable with the controls you'll
learn how to boost through nearly the entire course, but until then, only go
turbo when there is a long stretch of straight rings or there's a long distance
to be covered between rings. When you get the chance, slightly turn off the
path to target the targets, release the boomerang on them, and get back to what
you are doing. You will also need to do this to shoot a number of the balloons
and the letters, but the letters are fairly easy to get by just running through
the course. If you don't think you can get something without missing a ring,
just complete the course and come back for all the goodies when you have had
more practice with the controls. Use the airbrake for the stationary items.
Anyway, boost to the ring in front of the cave, then slow down long enough to
make the turn and correct your direction. Once outside, follow the rings until
the cutscene. You might appreciate the might of the boomerang at this point,
especially when these things try to run into you to run you off course. Anyway,
follow along, flinging the boomerang at all targets you see. Just keep
following the ring path, and before you pass the ring in front of the third
cave, hit the brakes so you can turn hard enough to get this balloon that's way
out of the way. When you pass this ring, you have to boost all the way through
the cave in order to make the next ring which is a ways outside of the cave.
My apologies, but for the rest of this all I can be is vague. Don't worry,
you'll figure out more by playing than I can explain.
When Rerun shouts that you've made it halfway, the final half is simply the
second lap of what you just did. Boost until the cutscene. Rerun will try to
clog up the entryway to the caves with a few big boulders, but this only makes
the entrance a bit smaller. Just fly over all the rocks and you'll be back on
his tail in no time. Keep in mind that all the balloons, letters, and targets
that you didn't have time to destroy the first time around you will pass by
only one more time, so be sure to shoot them when you get the chance. When you
pass through the last tunnel and Rerun says "Can't...lose..." you're almost
done. Keep going round all those turns and boost every chance you get. If you
have gotten enough of a lead early on, then it won't be hard to finish first.
When he passes ring number 109, his engine stalls. Now is your chance to pass
him. If you don't, that's okay, it was only a secondary objective, and you can
try again later. If you do, hopefully you did it along with all the other
objectives so you get the highest score.
- B2. Eliminate Tree Village -
------------------------------
Primary Objectives:
*Locate and Destroy Gate to Forest
*Navigate the Woods
*Destroy the Second Gate
*Take Out the Spy bots (4)
*Destroy the Ramps (4)
*Destroy Blue Fighters
*Take Out Officers Quarters
Secondary Objectives:
*Destroy All Scout Towers (30)
*Destroy M2 Guns (8)
*Destroy All Tanks (8)
^Note: You must have the Fire Boomerang to complete this mission.^
Explore all parts of this area for items; there are no enemy threats right now.
You'll find the "L" in a hidden cave/tunnel to the farthest right of where you
start (trust me, it is in a cave), and the balloons in this area are fairly
bright. Now if you head right of where you started and take another right when
you go as far as you can go, you'll get a cutscene of a giant gate. Aim your
boomerang at the giant pile of hay in front of it to open up a doorway.
When you first come in, you'll notice that the radar shows nothing. Go a bit
farther and a ton of tree-mounted gun turrets appear. Clear the forest, and
use that boomerang! You might start by flying through this entire area with
the airbrake so you have more time to get around the trees and the guns.
Once that section of the woods is empty, torch the next pile of hay and sneak
around the outskirts of the enemy base to finish off all of the turrets. When
you get the "Mission Success" symbol for the turrets, head into town and finish
off the copter bots. The enemy will engage a bunch of tanks. Before you
destroy any tanks, destroy the platforms that they came from first. If you blow
up a tank before you take out the ramp, another one will take its place and the
cycle will continue.
Destroy all the blue airplanes that take the ramps' places, then start throwing
your boomerang at the supports to the officers' building. Don't forget to kill
all the tanks first to complete the secondary objective. When most of the
supports are burning, several guns will sprout beneath the building. Don't
worry about these, just finish off the supports. Ta-da!
If you are having trouble collecting all of the balloons, there are two in the
first area, five in between the gates, and three in the last area. The most
difficult ones for me to find were the one to the right of the first gate after
entering and the one up high behind the big officers' building.
- B3. Tree Chopper -
------------------------------
Primary Objective:
*Stop the Chopper
Secondary Objective: None
Alright, your first follow boss battle: Snoopy vs. The Harvester. After the
cutscene, get ready to roll back and forth to dodge the water balloons. After
it's clear that it is temporarily out of balloons, get to one side of the
screen. The water cannon will spray right in the middle, and it can take off
at least half of your health. As it prepares to shoot again, get to the right
side, then get to the left side. After these three blasts, the harvester will
have to recharge; take this opportunity to blast the heck out of the indicated
weak spot. After it has had some time to recharge it will repeat this pattern,
so wait it out until you can cause damage again.
After maybe the second chance you've had to knock down its energy, it will go
through the water blasting routine one more time before it decides to turn
around and face you. While you have some time, quickly smash its mouth. When
it shows its giant claws, quickly get to the top of the screen to avoid getting
clamped. After it puts them away, shoot it again until it starts swinging its
saw blades.
Right now you can't do any damage, so just relax on the fire button and get
ready to dodge. For the machine's first two swings, get to the opposite side
of the screen from the arm that it raises. After these two swings, get as high
as possible to avoid the next two low swings it will make. After this part, it
will swing both arms once at the same time. When it strikes the ground this
time, though, it will fling up logs and sparkling dirt that will cause damage
if they hit your plane. If you are flying at the top of the screen, you should
have plenty of time to avoid most of the debris, and if you can't, roll to
minimize damage. After this short bit, destroy one of the flashing joints. It
will immediately recover and start swinging again. Wait it out and destroy the
other arm. Now that it is completely vulnerable to your attacks, let 'em have
it. It will continue to swing its arms, but you should have it down before it
starts kicking up dirt.
========== C. Front Lines of Verdon ============
- C1. Trench Warfare -
------------------------------
Primary Objectives:
*Defend the Pillboxes
*Destroy Enemy Tanks and Strikers
*Defend the Bomber
Secondary Objectives:
*Destroy 10 Drillers
*Destroy 10 Green Fighters
*Destroy Blimps (2)
*Destroy M2 Guns (6)
By this time, you should have upgraded your plane at least twice to each stat.
If not, go play some more at the Aerodrome for more money. This level introduces
green fighters, which in my opinion, are more dangerous than the purple fighters
you will meet in the next world. Green fighters throw water balloons; if your
health is not completely upgraded, two water balloons can be the death of you.
Roll as soon as you get the chance to start this level because the enemy will
get a head start and will attack you the instant before you get control. Now, to
business. Might I recommend the boomerang...
This is another incredibly difficult defense mission. You will be protecting
the front lines of Verdon, making sure that 10 of the Allied pillboxes remain
intact whilst you destroy and defend a couple other things. Beware of drillers:
they are your worst enemy as they are the most efficient in taking down all of
your pillboxes. This is one of those missions where you may have to collect
the items separate from completing the secondary objectives. The keyword is
quickly.
Begin by destroying the giant strikers in the middle of the battle field and
the tanks at the sides. Don't let those drillers out of your site, though;
knock out as many of them as you can quickly before finishing this first
objective. This will open up the path for Pattie, Franklin, and Rerun to
assist. Rerun will get knocked out of the battle pretty quickly, but that's ok
here. All you are worried about is Pattie because she is the only one who can
damage the enemy pillboxes. Oh yeah, and you are worried about your pillboxes
because they are the only things holding the line.
When they make their grand appearance, so will some M2 guns. You have to take
out as many of these as you can, or the bomber is done. Watch out for green
fighters, and bring down a few at a time to complete that objective. Before you
can finish all of the M2 guns, two blimps will show up to bomb your pillboxes.
Finish off the blimps quickly, then destroy their precious cargo. Now, finish
off the M2 guns.
When you are alerted about another wave of drillers, you are on the home
stretch. The top left corner will indicate how long you have to hold the line
before the enemy retreats. If Peppermint Pattie is successful and the number
turns zero next to the Central Powers symbol, mission accomplished. If the
drillers and bombs are successful and the Allied symbol has a zero next to it,
you have failed. Keep in mind that you may also have to defend Pattie from
respawning green fighters, although if they are the only ones left to cause her
trouble, then your main concern is the Allied pillboxes. Destroy every driller
bot you see until you are given Mission Completed.

^Note: You must have the Lightning Rod to complete this mission.^
Before you light up any of the towers, shoot down all the copter bots around
the towers before they give you too much trouble. Shock the battery and find
the next one on your radar. While you're at it, shoot all nearby spy bots,
especially those floating away from the towers on the battle arena. Once every
nearby bot is destroyed and every tower powered up, turbo to the X indicated on
your radar.
You will now enter stealth mode (you'll also see this in the first level of the
next world). You'll notice a meter next to your radar; this indicates altitude.
As long as you stay somewhere on that meter, you're good. Go any higher and the
mission is blown. Once you begin, take out the crawler, then shoot as many spy
bots as you see. You can't go through the mine field and you can't destroy
them, so just mind your business to the right. Unleash your fury on the waiting
copter bots and roof guns as you make your way through. Destroy the crawler on
your way out, then keep to the right as you look for the entrance to the next
tunnel.
As you enter this one roll as much as possible while firing all of your weapons
to avoid the fire of all the robots clogging the cave. Make sure you get all
of them, then take a look at the generator powering the radar. It only takes
one shock of the lightning rod to destroy the radar, but wait to use it until
you are nearly touching the generator before you let 'er rip.
The Allies will receive the OK to attack. For people who are just trying to get
through the level, the hard part is over, and all you need to do is destroy a
couple of strikers to protect the bomber. Pattie has to destroy three hangars
before the mission is over, so just try to take care of as many open enemies as
you can until time runs out; this isn't hard.
If you are out to get a medal, you have one heck of a race against the clock
ahead of you. You may want to come back later when you don't have to worry
about balloons and have completely upgraded your stunt meter. You basically
have to boost all over the map and clear every remaining enemy from the radar
under a minute and a half. That estimate might be too long. Anyway, get rid of
the strikers and anti-air guns fast, then try to get the five green fighters
before there is only one hangar that they respawn from. When the enemy
commander starts complaining about not having enough time to recover, you had
better be putting on the finishing touches to that striker on the other side of
the hill. Keep in mind that you have to complete the entire mission under six
minutes and thirty seconds in order to complete the time objective. If you go
over the time limit and all other objectives have been completed, you still get
stuck with Colonel.
- C3. Giant Tank -
------------------------------
Primary Objectives:
*Destroy the Tank
*Destroy the Pillars Before Time Runs Out
Secondary Objectives: None
This is another Woodstock Gunner battle. After the cutscene of the oversized
tank, shoot out the guns on the sides. After they are all decimated, a
flamethrower comes out of the tank's middle with another cheesy line; aim for
the spouts that they are coming out of. When all four are destroyed, ovens open
up on the tank's sides. Shoot out as many of those as you can until the
flamethrower recovers; don't forget your secondary weapons, which should
restock when an oven is down. Rinse and repeat, at the most you should have to
do this a total of three times until all the ovens are gone.
The tank will stop giving you heat and resume to take out the town. Fortunately
for you, these guys are not war geniuses. Woodstock is the first one to notice
that they parked on a bridge. Aim for the supports and use your secondary
weapons liberally; they will home into the supports even if you can't get a
lock. The tank will sink and the mission is complete. Don't forget to shoot
the letter and balloons as they pass your crosshairs.
========== D. Mines of the Matterhorn ==========
- D1. Surprise Attack -
------------------------------
Primary Objectives:
*Avoid Being Detected
*Destroy Power Generators (3)
*Destroy Grounded Fighters (11)
*Destroy Enemy Fighters (4)
Secondary Objectives:
*Power Down the Scout Towers (12)
*Destroy Copter Bots (43)
*Destroy Crawlers (5)
For this level you have to fly low enough to avoid flying into the enemy radar.
I've already explained this for the "Front Lines of Verdon" level, but I'll go
ahead and explain it again. Next to your own radar, you'll see a scale that
measures your altitude. If you fly anywhere between on the scale, you'll be
fine. However, now you have to avoid being detected by robots, or you're
busted. When you see enemies, though, their vision is not as good as it was
everywhere else. They can only see as far as the red sphere that surrounds
them, so don't be afraid about getting too close. You should have already
finished them off by the time you get in their alert distance. Just know that
copter bots don't always appear on your radar. Also, keep an eye out near the
turns; some balloons hide pretty well around some of the corners.
Okay, fly forward and shoot out the little blue generators with the colored
light bulbs. You may need to fly slow to get a good aim in front of you and to
buy time to destroy the generators. The boomerang is really handy here because
it can take out tons of bots and generators at a time. Anyway, keep going
straight, destroying everything that you can see and avoiding being detected by
the red lights. Like I said, the boomerang is very effective for long-range
combat, so use it.
At this turn, release the boomerang on all the spy bots. While they are getting
knocked out, get close to the right so you can shoot the generator. Keep going
at it, and when you almost reach the spot where the second generator was, ride
the brake and hug the left cliff. Stay on that side until you can get a clear
view of the bot, then shoot him. Clear the crawler, bots, and generator up
ahead. For the next light, get a little higher than mid altitude and wait for
it to start moving to one side before you boost past it, then destroy the bots
and generator.
For the next area, clear all the bots and get low. Wait for both lights to move
to one side before you speed past, then destroy their generators. You can see
the generators for the last set of lights, so take them out. Clear the cave up
ahead, then ride the brake once you get a clear shot of the exit. Use the
boomerang and the machine gun to clear the way. Once out, finish the crawler
and the three power generators.
Now that their radar is gone, fly up over the hill past the radar dish to the
next yellow objective on your own radar. Both letters for this level are up
here, so get them and the last balloon. As soon as you strike the first grounded
plane, reinforcements will be sent immediately. Turn right real quick to face
the new purple fighters, who use fireworks as their secondary weapon. These can
take more damage than the other two colored fighters, and they are a lot better
at dodging your machine gun, so let them have a taste of the boomerang. There
are also two green fighters who come later from the left, so take them on after
the purples or if they get too close. Once you are the only one left in the sky,
finish off their grounded planes. Way to go, now get that train.
- D2. Derail the Train -
------------------------------
Primary Objectives:
*Destroy Train
Secondary Objectives:
*Destroy Snow Blowers (2)
*Destroy Guns (24)
This is another Follow Battle. You have a time limit, indicated by the clock
at the top right of the screen, during which time you must destroy all of the
train cars. The health bar indicates the energy of each train car rather than
the entire train. After each car is destroyed, your plane will automatically
fly to the next train car. I believe there is a total of nine cars. If you are
looking to complete all of the secondary objectives, the boomerang is a little
too potent. Go ahead and invest in the Roman Candles (you should have collected
enough balloons from the last world to get them) to target the guns before you
destroy the train cars.
When you first begin, you will be confronted by a snow blower which has the
same effect on your plane as the water gun had. However, you can (and must)
damage this, so smash it up. Also, get the two little sticks sticking out the
back before you demolish the rest of the train car. On the next two cars, there
will be four sticks at the corners; these are the guns you need to destroy for
the secondary objective. Shoot them all out with your gun and Roman Candles,
then concentrate on the cart. Follow this process with all similar carts, and
shoot the passing first aid boxes to restock your missiles if you run out.
The fourth cart should contain doodlebug parts featuring a missile launcher.
Get rid of the launcher first to simplify the task of derailing it. The next
couple cars should have guns, guns, doodlebug parts, and guns, in that order.
The final part of the train has the last snow blower and a mine generator.
These are the kind of mines that can't be destroyed, so fly clear of them, and
just destroy the snow blower. With that out of the way, finishing the train
will be no sweat. Just watch them surrender.
- D3. Enter the Mines -
------------------------------
Primary Objectives:
*Destroy Power Generators (4)
*Destroy Strikers (4)
*Destroy Enemy Plows (5)
*Destroy Water Towers (5)
*Destroy Fuel Tanks (5)
*Destroy Tanks (5)
*Destroy Bomber
Secondary Objectives:
*Destroy 10 Purple Fighters
*Destroy Strikers (2)
As you reenter the mining camp, the Flying Circus will be expecting you. Start
with the striker and generator in front of you. Once the power has gone out,
turn your attention to the base to your right. Finish all the purple fighters
that give you trouble, then take out the strikers and generators.
Once you have a new set of objectives, destroy the snow plows before you shoot
out the water towers. The plows fire ice blocks, so avoid these until you can
get rid of them. Once you've made it full circle round the mountain, you'll
have to destroy the gas tanks and the big tanks. Tanks with guns and treads
first, then the storage tanks.
Well, so much for stealing their secret plans. In the meantime, you have a
bigger thing to worry about- literally. First, complete the secondary objective
if you haven't yet, or just make sure that no purple fighters will attack you
when you attack the big lug. Next, track him down from where you are using your
radar, and avoid its cannon that fires from its back. This guy is huge and
highly resistant to damage, and he constantly releases mines that are attracted
to you, but you can shoot them down. You don't need to worry too much about
the mines because most of them contain health that will restore you as soon as
they hit you, but you can shoot them if you want to.
Once you get it down to about half health, two strikers come out. Quickly take
them out, then continue on the bomber. When it is smashed and all 500 of its
pilots escape, you'll fly into and be trapped inside the actual mine.
- D4. Explore the Mines -
------------------------------
Primary Objectives:
*Explore the Mines
*Disable Ore Crane
*Destroy Power Generators (3)
*Destroy Blockade With Roman Candle
*Find A Way to Open the Door
Secondary Objectives:
*Destroy Crawlers (3)
*Destroy Roof Guns (21)
*Destroy Spy Bots (9)
*Destroy Tanks (4)
*Destroy Drilling Equipment (9)
^Note: You must have the Roman Candles to complete this mission.^
By this time your plane should be completely upgraded, and you should have
access to all the weapons up to the Roman Candles.
Head down the tunnel and start shooting the arm of the unobtanium mining
machine. Ignore the guns, they'll die when the crane dies. When that is
busted, dive to take out the crawler as well as the generator. You'll use the
number provided later, and the game will keep it on the left side of the screen
so you won't forget it. Now, look around at the four tunnel entrances. Save the
pink one for last and go down either the blue tunnel or one of the green
tunnels first. There is no reason not to complete all the secondary objectives,
so follow along.
I'll start with the blue tunnel. Take out every roof gun you see, and fly just
high enough to avoid any mine carts that pass on the tracks below. You may want
to fly with the brake on through the tunnels so you have enough time to react
to attacks and make turns. When you reach the barrel blockade, use a Roman
Candle to get through. Destroy all the spy bots and guns, then get the
generator for the next clue.
Now the green tunnels both lead to the same area. Pick either one (there's one
directly across from the blue exit), destroying roof guns as you go. Destroy
every piece of equipment you see in this room and destroy the generator for the
last clue. With the room cleared, take the other tunnel and destroy all the gun
turrets down that hall.
Make your way down the excessively long reddish-pink tunnel. Again, clear out
the guns until you get the "Objective Completed" symbol. When you leave the
tunnel, you have to get rid of the tanks, crawlers, and drilling equipment
before you can solve the puzzle in peace. Look at the left side of the screen.
You should have a red 2, a green 1, and a blue 1. The door ahead has three
numbers and a button below each number. If you shoot the buttons, the numbers
will increase by one, unless the number is at four, then it will go back to
one. Shoot the buttons so the colors and numbers match the combination you
have. This will open the door and end the mission.
- D5. Destroy Driller Boss -
------------------------------
Primary Objective:
*Destroy the Digger
Secondary Objectives: None
This Follow Battle is very difficult to complete without dying once, though it
is possible to dodge after you figure out the system. Despite all of the
rolling, it is nearly impossible to avoid all of the boulders that pop up
between rolls. I would normally recommend the boomerang to kill the boss
quickly, but if you are going back to this level a second time to get General
status, the pumpkin gun is the most useful.
It will begin by casting balls of electricity out from its hands, shaped in a
five-by-five square. Fly around them, vertically and horizontally. After the
third shot it will shoot a steady beam of electricity in a circular pattern.
Fly opposite to it; when it stops, it will be weak enough to attack, so unleash
thy wrath upon ye claw. Now it should use both claws simultaneously to shoot
electricity in this same pattern. Just dodge and fly around the beams, then
shoot out one of the claws. This should take maybe a maximum total of four turns
before the next stage of the fight.
Now the driller will proceed to throw saws at you. When it throws them, the
part that was holding them will be vulnerable, so unleash your weapons and
gunfire if you can get a lock. You can predict where you need to move in order
to dodge its attacks based on what it does right before it throws the saws. If
it tips it straight back before it throws, get to a side because the saws will
travel down the middle before going back to it. If it cocks it sideways just a
little bit, stay in the middle so you don't get caught on the sides. When that
is destroyed, get ready for hardball.
This first part is fairly easy, but the part that follows is not. During the
following sequence, the driller will have a weak spot that you can exploit
while it attacks you. It will start by swinging its claw arms in the same
method as the harvester, except it will only smash them straight down. Get to
the other side to avoid getting smashed. Every time it strikes the ground, about
